Inventory/Production Module
-
Inventory Control
Keeping inventory management costs down is crucial to competitive advantage. Seasoft helps companies slash inventory costs by providing tighter control of stock levels. You can set complex pricing rules based on individual customers, item variations, volume and more. Access up-to-the-minute quantity status and detailed information on each item in your inventory. With Seasoft’s inventory replenishment capability, you can ensure that you have enough product on hand to fill anticipated orders, while keeping excess stock to a minimum. Average lead time, historical or seasonal-based sales, and number of days' supply to stock can be used to dynamically set reorder point and preferred stock level for each item.
-
Freezer and Warehouse Automation
Optimize your warehousing operations from receiving of raw materials to the shipment of finished goods. Wireless hand-held ‘real time’ scanners capture product information at the dock and then use this data to improve receiving, attaching pallet labels, tracking the movement of materials within the warehouse via barcodes, physical inventory, production through to finished goods (whether to order or to stock), picking, packing / invoicing (at the same time) and shipment verification.
-
Traceability
Seasoft tracks individual bins, containers and packages as they flow through the manufacturing process and distribution chain, and provides detailed, historical information related to production, inspection, genealogy and usage.
-
Country of Origin Labeling (COOL)
Track and label country of origin data to comply with USDA mandatory labeling requirements. Generate labels at time of receipt with COOL and MOP details, including method of production, where the product was grown, packed and processed. Assign unique transaction and lot numbers when items are received in inventory, and track product through the shipping process to an unlimited number of locations.
-
SAFIS Module
The Standard Atlantic Fisheries Information System (SAFIS) provides seafood dealers and fishermen with online form that satisfies multiple state and federal reporting requirements. Seasoft assigns a Trip Report Number to each purchase order to identify every catch landed by a vessel. In addition, vendors in the Seasoft database can be assigned a Permit Number, Gear Type Description, and Home Port Description. The fields in the Seasoft database will facilitate the SAFIS upload and allow for tracking of product received by seafood dealers.
-
Import Tracking
Quickly and accurately record shipment related detail, including agent, packer, shipping line, port of entry, final destination, vessel, feeder vessel and container number.
-
By-Product Costing, Tracking and Production
Seasoft’s costing capabilities increase profitability by providing up-to-date cost information that can be used in product pricing strategies. In many meat processing organizations, by-products are typically assigned a market value and costs are applied to multiple products. With ProVisions, by-product or non-target item costing can be based on the actual weight of the by-product rather than a standardized cost. By capturing and analyzing the actual versus standard or estimated costs for by-products, meat companies are able to optimize processes to make better decisions on product pricing.
-
Bar Code Printing, Scanning and Inventory Control
Seasoft can easily generate and print bar-coded labels directly from the handhelds or the mobile bar code printer or through the main computer. You can place labels at key production locations for ease of use, efficiency, and lower cost. Bar codes are not necessary to use the Seasoft’s inventory system, but they provide additional automation and efficiency enhancements, increase the accuracy of physical inventory verification, bundle movement and processing from status-to-status.

Enhanced Production Quality Control
Seasoft’s enhanced production Quality Control (QC) Module provides the tools you need to improve your QC program and gain complete regulatory compliance. Seasoft lets you easily set-up and maintain multiple, customized QC programs for various items, and at each stage in the production process. At the same, the software automatically captures and stores critical product and QC information. QC Test Results can also generate an auto notification via e-mail or IM to responsible staff.
In addition, Seasoft has been integrated with the Panasonic ToughBook line of semi-rugged hand-held PCs that let you work anywhere. QC staff can use these handhelds at each stage in the production process to measure equipment or tank temperature, viscosity and other characteristics of the product being processed.
-
Barcoding for Accurate Quality Checks and Cost Tracking
Seasoft provides full barcode functionality, including label printing and scanning throughout the operation, and allows for customization to meet your unique requirements. You can scan barcodes on work orders, read all of the items required at each stage of each recipe, then scan the pre-measured and barcoded raw materials for that step to ensure that the product contains all the right ingredients added in the right sequence to ensure both regulatory and QC compliance.
-
Materials Requirements Planning (MRP)
Control the types and quantities of materials purchased and plan which products are to be produced and in what quantities, all at the lowest possible cost. Gain more efficient production (longer runs, fewer product changeovers) and lower inventory levels and meet contracts to supply products by the agreed date. Produce a detailed MRP report listing the annual sales budget and forecast for each of your items and products, and ensure that it accounts for current sales projections, accurately reflects what items or raw materials (ingredients, packaging supplies, etc.) are required, how many are required, and when are they required.
-

-
Purchase Order Processing
Expedite customer orders by referencing detailed customer and sales history. Seasoft's integrated order processing system ensures that orders are recorded accurately, that product is shipped right the first time, and that orders are invoiced promptly.
-
Costing and Pricing
Costing and pricing your goods are essential to maintaining a profitable food distribution and processing business. Centralize standard and actual costs so price changes are applied quickly to lot finished products. Bill of materials roll-up allows for quick re-pricing and costing.
-

The ToughStation computers and monitors are NEMA 4x sealed for a completely airtight enclosure.
-
Dispatch / Delivery
Seasoft’s business-ready delivery and dispatch module lets you maximize the profitability of every shipment. You can consolidate and manage delivery runs, increase margins on small orders and maximize the gross profit of every truck that leaves your dock. You can simply scan bundle labels or key the label numbers while loading the truck, select customer/destination information and quickly print the bill of lading. Seasoft also lets you drag-and drop to add, delete or move orders from routes and analyze truck profitability. We’ve even integrated Microsoft’s Map Point® technology for point-to-point directions.
Seasoft provides a real-time view of commitments and available delivery resources to those who need to know, helping them more efficiently manage staff and resources involved in the order build process and make more effective delivery decisions. In a simple screen, dispatchers can view the total value of product on the truck as well as the associated costs—per-mileage fuel costs, driver overhead and other expenses—that affect the value and profitability of the delivery. This insight not only saves money, it enables sales reps to commit to customer delivery times with 100% confidence. These new tools allow dispatchers to quickly determine if a truck is loaded to its capacity, and properly stage outgoing orders to quickly turn around vehicles for second and third delivery runs. What's more, runs can be easily expanded to show combined order information, and can be scanned to provide updated status on the delivery and the order itself.
-
Truck Route / Manifest
Dynamically route trucks, assign stops in the appropriate sequence, and ensure drivers have complete and organized delivery manifest. Quickly review stops assigned to each driver, the number of stops on a truck, total weight and case count along with a place for the driver to record his expenses and collection information to help speed up the reconciliation process upon his return.
